Paying 20$ for sunbeds for a beach hotel. Paying extra 16€ for car park

Beachfront Seaview Staff members Room

Stayed in August 2025

The hotel was a 10 minute walk along a main busy road, with no footpaths to get to the cable car to take you to the centre of Taormina. The beach area was quite rocky and "Lido", was €20 per day per person for sunbed and towel. Would have preferred this to be included in the hotel price, as this was an extra cost not thought of or accounted for when deciding on a hotel. There was no bar or restaurant in the hotel, so again you needed to go out or travel to have a bite to eat or a few drinks. The last thing that kind of irked us was the main train line passed in front of the hotel, a few meters from the entrance, this wasn't mentioned anywhere. So there was a frequent rumbling of a passing train. In saying all of that, we enjoyed our stay.

Hotel was lovely, "Shabby Chic" needs a bit of TLC, as it looked aged! Rooms were clean and practical. We had a treble room which was on the ground floor and only windows to the room were the ones on the door, but it was fine. Staff were extremely friendly and very helpful, a real pleasure to deal with

It was quite run down but with huge potential. Basic tidying up which would have made a big difference had not been done eg The breakfast terrace and path to the water had not been swept and there were odd pieces of stuff around the property. The wall around the terrace was filthy and needed cleaning. As pointed out by others the walk to the area by the cable car has no footpath and blind corners so felt very dangerous every time we walked there.

It was away from the maddening crowds. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful and the view from the terrace was lovely. The bed was large and comfortable and the terrace with a sea view was a good size, the breakfast lady was lovely.

The noise from the train was a little annoying, Everything else was fine.

Clean Comfortable Easy access to the town

We didnt realize a train track was between the hotel and the beach. The train comes by about every hour from 5 in the morning.

Only 2-5 minute walk to the cable car that brings you to taormina. Nice beach also close, lots of restaurants in the neighborhood.

rooms were a little dark and could do with a kettle/ coffee tea in the rooms

absolutely perfect. service was wonderful and such helpful staff. breakfast was lovely with the best view over the sea. only a short walk down to the sea (1 minute) through a private entrance to the beach

We had to pay for parking (15€ per night). The distance to the city is considerable to walk, but doable. TPA didn't work at first and had to pay via saying my credit card details and hotel manager called a collegue to process it in another hotel of the group - was legit, but it felt it could be sketchy at that time.

Taormina is great. Good venue and view of the sea. They have park, but paid. Close to great beaches. Location is good - 1km to the best beach of Taormina. Amazing breakfast in first day. In the second, a lot of food was missing, and we were in the middle of the schedule for it, around 10am - it was supposed to go from 8~9 til 11~12h00.

The price was to high for its offer! Everything else was too good!

Good position next to the beach( quiet and hidden one). To close to the cable car station which takes you right to taormina in 5 minutes

We greatly appreciated the friendliness, availability, and professionalism of the staff. The place was very clean and quite nice.

It is not close to the center of Taormina. You must use a gondola to the uptown.

Good hotel. It is close to the beach ⛱️ The view is nice. There are sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach, the price is 15 euros.

The location, there is not beach and the hotel is basically next to the rail way

The staff is good

Stayed in June 2024

The furnitures were a bit old in the room.

Beautiful view from the balcony, beach is 1 minite avay from the hotel.

The small details someone already gives for granted nowadays on hotels around the world like the absence of a kettle to make yourself a tea or a coffee in your room, or lack of courtesy bottle of water. They charged for the ones on the mini bar. Also at breakfast, the scrambled eggs were made once in the very morning and like for the battalion and then they went very overcooked if you are not there when just freshly done.

The facilities (building) are very good and the view is incredible, having breakfast at the terrace gives an extra touch to start the day Having the cafe freshly made by humans on espresso coffee machine is definitely something to highlight.

Stayed in June 2024

No tea / coffee making facilities in the room. No glasses or obvious towel rails in the new bathroom. Silly little tea pots spoilt an otherwise good breakfast.

Classic older hotel with gardens close to the sea. Staff very helpful.

The renovated rooms are quite nice. The other rooms I would not choose. Good breakfast. Very nice staff

Access

The position of the hotel

Stayed in May 2024

Booked a balcony and sea view but view was limited and on had ground floor terrace not balcony, even though we said at booking it was our wedding anniversary trip. Also train noise close to hotel garden and loud started at 4.30am, not communicated to us before booking. Breakfast was hit and miss on choice depending on arrival as was ever replenished. Location good for views but can be tricky walking on road to get to hotel, especially at night.

Yes, the train tracks are just beside sea/fence of facility, but it does not go too often and we had no issues with it, cuz our windows were facing street. Perhaps just a bit too expensive.

Cannot get a better location than this (perhaps only 100m down the road, but it is super expensive). In my opinion, you are paying for the location and parking, the rest is what it is. Good and friendly staff, it was clean and room service was good, we got new stuff after just one day. Yes the overall look/condition of the place is outdated, but so are the rest of them in Sicily. Really cool chillout zone on roof, terrace and nice garden with exit to the beach. Breakfast could be good, if staff would pay more attention on what is running out or missing,because both times, we ate clondish eggs and no bacon. Perhaps you need to ask, we did not, not in our culture to ask for things (we are a bit shy). Place is good and you will be able to get to cable car in 10min by foot and the up to Taormina 🤌

Trains going passed. Whole place needs to be refurnished.+

Breakfast was good. Room was a good size. View was great.
